    Is it cast iron or aluminium? Needs to be done by someone who knows what they're at.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    quicksteel epoxy putty, drain, clean really well with solvent, roughen up a bit with a file then apply putty.

    if you go welding, you'll probably make an even bigger hole in it. I know I would. :D

    Anyone else have an opinion on this idea it sounds a bit too easy.
